![]() ![]() They don't have any repair parts left, so I'm probably 1 of very few that still use this controller. Of coure my controller has a major breakdown every 4 years or so, which requires me to send it in at an $800.00 minimum. I could probably swing $1500.00 for a new controller, but of course I'd rather not unless I had to to get the Vectric software to work with it. Autodesk Fusion 360 CAD/CAM Software Powerful CAD/CAM Software that is Free for personal (non-commercial) and educational use. Viktor, yes, my router has 3 stepper motors. This plugin is mainly for users who wish to upgrade from Mach3 to Mach4 and continue to use the parallel port as they have done in the past. Both my vinyl cutter and router have the 25 pin serial connectors, so I have 9 pin serial to 25 pin serial converters on the cables. My vinyl cutter is made by the same company (Vytek), and uses the same com port parameters as the Router. The com port on my computer is a 9 pin serial port. I think I used to know how to copy a file to a com port, but that was many many moons ago. I don't know how to make it talk, or even know it's talking. software that expects common CNC software such as MACH3 or GRBL. Wes, the only input to my controller is a serial port (25 pin I think).īob, I bet my computer isn't talking to my controller. GRBL is free, easy-to-use firmware for your CNC machine. And mostly they want me to upgrade to the newest version before they will help me. I have to beg for even the tiniest bit of info from the Casmate/Flexi/ EnRoute people. Wow, I'm impressed with the help available here. These companies made difficult to use their machine with third party programs. it probably same "speciality" like gerber.Īlso can happen need only some rewiring and your controller will work trough on the db25 paralell port. Then, you can move on to Openbuilds Control for your controlling needs as well. You can import 2D designs like SVG or DXF files (but not 3D STL files) or use some of its ready parts libraries to generate G code. ![]() and your steppers will acting like a servo. Openbuilds CAM Software is suitable for 2D and 2.5D toolpath. What size cutting table, servo or stepper motor drives, does it need CAM conversion to G and M code, high definition, or. so a controller migh cost 1500 or less.not ten K. your machine probably has stepper motors. If I have a tool change in the G-Codes ex. I would like to be able to use this with Mach 3. It works by receiving a input of 1 to 12 through either the serial monitor or a bluetooth device. The videos on that page also demonstrate in detail how to install the software, plug-ins, xml file and wiring and. There is a 5 step process on that page to install the plug-in and the configuration xml file that is necessary for the proper functioning of the controller. i'm not sure you need really new controller for 10K. Hi There, I have built an arduino-based tool changer for a conventional 2-axis turning lathe machine. Question: Help with loading mach3 usb interface board on Windows 10. in positive direction.Ībout your controller. your bussiness will changing with vectric. but also you can load the vectorartmodels, after you computed toolpath for them in the machinist, also from vectorart site. With these you get not only vcarve function, or any kind of routing. but with vectric program you just got the best. it was working somehow with straight lines, but in vcarve function it was a mess.Īnyway, i can't say anything about enroute. the nicest feature was, gave a dxf output, as the polyline has z changing. How can one know if it's a legit copy of Mach 3? It looks legit, but after reading articles, and being ghosted by Red/Cam, I'm wondering if it's the software - Red/Cam Manufacturing Inc.I also used a similar program.the casmate. The Mach3 software turns a Windows 32-bit computer into a CNC machine controller. My first step I think is figuring out if a pirated version. I'm really hoping someone can help and point us in the right direction. Being new to all this, it's extremely difficult. The Red Cam guy who is the manufacturer has pretty much said it's the Laptop and the Desktop computers (he says they both must use a deep freeze software? which they don't have).then totally ignores me for help, so I'm stuck trying to figure this out to get it up and running. It will run ok one time, then when you try it again.the spindle won't turn on for example. The Red Cam employee took the control box and changed the hook-up from a parallel port to a USB port. One of the first things we did was get it repaired and running. ![]() One of the toys is a Red Cam CNC machine. I'm a Teacher in a High School that is teaching a Manufacturing class. ![]()
